A 22 AA and 23 TS isn't "doing so well"? Are you kidding me?

 

[fujindesu]

please look at your dat percentile before making such contrived humble statements.

All the schools are at your pickings, maybe with the exception of Harvard.

Really? I've got the same AA and TS (18 RC though) and I'm not even expecting interviews from UCLA, Columbia, or Penn, let alone acceptances.


(PS I just remembered watching the Big Game between Stanford and Cal earlier this year when I saw the avatars in this thread)

Texas schools are likely chomping at the bit to get an international student in their midst.

Agreed. If you want to apply to Texas, I'd probably only try Baylor. Houston accepts absolutely no OOS residents. And San Antonio? Well, it's tough to say... but from statistics, they only accepted 1 OOS (not sure about international).

Dont get caught up in the name game, nobody really cares man. Go to the cheapest school, do you see the state of this country. Nobody is gonna care where you went to school (no disrespect), they just want an honest dentist. Save the money

PLease tell that to the 3 new students who just started here this week at UTSD who are from Croatia, Rwanda and India. Maybe they need to verifiy that they are actually enrolled.

Since he didn't do so well, he shouldn't apply.

 

[KittySquared]

lmfao.

I second that. Doc toothache always posts links to other threads without saying anything. This was just hilarious. Hahaha


But you know what though, those ridiculous top schools can be iffy too. Harvard likes to boast how they turn down absolutely exceptional students. In my opinion, applying to schools like that is like dating someone with borderline personality disorder or some severe mental defect. Your best sometimes just isn't good 'nuff. They can still go bat**** crazy, take your $ and screw you over. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience.



Mr. Patel, your stats are great. But I'd still apply to 10 schools just to be safe.
